Chapter 500: Abandoning the Son to Save the Husband
"Mother-in-law, what's the sound outside?" Li Zhi's body was trembling.
"Zhi'er, I'm afraid the embankment has burst, this place is about to be flooded, let's go!" Yuan Ziyan opened the door as she spoke, and several people ran out of the room quickly.
The palace was quiet, and most people were still asleep, and they didn't take the abnormal noise seriously. Moreover, they have long been accustomed to lightning and thunder after days of heavy rain, and they are not aware of the danger coming.
"Sister Mei, you take Hong'er and leave quickly!" Li Zhi pushed Wu Mei, Wu Mei was stunned, and asked, "Your Majesty, what about you?" ”
"When the catastrophe comes, I can't just walk away. Let's go! Li Zhi said a few steps and jumped on a high place, and shouted loudly: "The flood is coming, flee quickly, flee quickly!" ”
Yuan Ziyan burst into tears like rain, this is the cowardly emperor in the eyes of everyone, and at the most critical moment, he still remembers his relatives and children and many ministers who live here.
Xue Rengui rushed over immediately after hearing the sound, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, go quickly, leave it to me here!" ”
And Yuan Ziyan looked at the north and opened his mouth wide in surprise, the roar became more and more thoughtful, deafening, the air was mixed with thick water vapor, and those looming white lights were probably waves!
Under the protection of several guards, Li Zhi and the others rushed towards the high ground, and Li Zhi reminded as he ran: "The queen is sleeping deeply, you must wake her up!" ”
Many people also got up when they heard the movement, and the people who fled with them also cried and fled, and Xue Rengui jumped on the lintel and stood above and shouted at the top of his voice, warning the people in the palace to leave quickly.
Because power is limited. Xue Rengui was not summoned and could not enter, but at this time. He found that many of the guards looked at each other as if they had been prepared, and quickly took off their armor and fled with the chaotic crowd.
Xue Rengui was furious and shouted angrily: "When the danger comes, you only care about your own escape, and if this is the case." Don't let go! ”
Xue Rengui jumped down, and the guards fled as if they hadn't heard it at all. The person who was caught up also slashed at Xue Rengui with a hideous face.
Conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy.
However, fire and water are merciless, after a few minutes. There was already water on the ground. After another moment, it was submerged in the knees, and the monstrous waves were behind them, and everyone did not dare to turn back and desperately ran away.
In the face of natural disasters, everyone is equal, and this is not a joke, it is true.
Many houses that had fallen into disrepair were washed away, and century-old trees were uprooted. The flood water was mixed with tree branches, debris and wood chips, and it was rushing towards people. The so-called good water quality is relative, that is, in the pool or calm water. At this time, the flood is not only powerful and high, but any debris inside is deadly.
Many people who were fleeing were pulled back into the water and never showed up again, Li Zhi and others had run far away, and the water potential had been greatly reduced, but a wave hit, and a family of three was still engulfed in the flood.
Wu Mei was okay and quickly got out of the water, while Li Zhi was beaten by the branches and couldn't use his strength. Wu Mei hurriedly held her breath and wanted to save Li Zhi, but suddenly her son Li Hong's voice came from her ears: "Mother, save me, save me!" ”
"Hong'er, Hong'er!" Wu Mei woke up suddenly, her son was gone, and she followed the voice, but found that her son was holding a piece of wood, only revealing a small head, and kept shouting.
"Hong'er, hold on, mother will go and save you!"
Wu Mei just wanted to swim to her son's side, but when she looked back, she found that Li Zhi began to sink down, and she was shocked, and then looked at her son who was supported by wood chips, Wu Meixin bit her teeth and shouted: "Hong'er, hold on to the wood and don't let go, your mother will definitely come to save you!" ”
Wu Mei swam to Li Zhi's side a few times, and carried him to a shallow place, Li Zhi's consciousness finally sobered up a lot, and he didn't forget to continue to run to the high place. Wu Mei ordered: "Your Majesty, go quickly, I'll go find Hong'er!" ”
When Wu Mei turned around, that moment was deeply seared in her heart, and every time she thought about it in the future, it hurt unbearably.
Another wave came over, in fact, it was not big, but Li Hong was just a three-year-old child, he was nervously holding the wood, and his calves swam towards his mother, but the wave behind him opened his mouth, Wu Mei watched her son being swallowed up, and when she came back to her senses, except for a piece of wood floating aside, where was the shadow of her son!
Wu Mei's body is cold, and the boundless waters mean to a child who can't swim for more than three years, everyone knows what!
"Hong'er, !!"
Wu Mei let out a hysterical cry, and threw herself back into the water regardless of it, but was stopped by several loyal guards, who dragged her to a high place.
"Nope! I want my Hong'er, Hong'er! Wu Mei's eyes were red, she kept struggling, she couldn't see any danger in the eyes of a desperate mother, Li Zhi also tearfully pulled Wu Mei to a high place, maybe she would never see her son again.
"Let go of me, let go of me, if you don't let go, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself!" Wu Mei roared angrily, and even opened her mouth to ask for the guard's arm, until the bleeding, the guard didn't dare to let go, she had already lost a prince, and if she lost Zhaoyi, Long Yan was furious, she couldn't eat and walk!
"Sister Mei, I will compensate you, I will!" Li Zhi hugged Wu Mei with tears, if he hadn't delayed his son's rescue, there would be no current tragedy.
At this moment, I saw a shadow flying in the sky, like a glow falling into the water, Wu Mei covered her mouth in surprise, that was her stepmother! Who else can there be besides the stepmother, great, Hong'er is saved!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yuan Ziyan to rise from the water, holding a child in his arms, it was Li Hong. Li Hong still cocked his little head, spit out a few mouthfuls of water, Wu Mei finally cried with joy, Hong'er was still alive.
After Yuan Ziyan settled, Wu Mei hurried over to pick up the child, but Xiao Li Hong glanced at her coldly, put her face in Yuan Ziyan's arms, and grabbed her clothes with her little hands, refusing to let go.
"Hong'er, I'm my mother. Mother-in-law, is Hong'er hurt? Wu Mei asked worriedly.
"Probably not, like scared. Forget it, I'll hold it. Yuan Ziyan looked back at the ocean, suddenly frowned, and there seemed to be a roaring sound in his ears, and he snorted coldly: "If you really don't stop if you don't achieve your goal, I'm afraid that the embankment will be completely destroyed." Zhi'er, Paulie, go as high as you can, there will be a lot of water! ”
Sure enough, after another quarter of an hour, there was a big water pouring in again, but fortunately, Li Zhi and the others took precautions in time, and sat on the ground at a high place at this time, looking at the turbid waves below and sighing.
More and more people gathered, Li Zhi rested for a while, and then went to count the number of people, fortunately, the children were safe, "Hey, where is the queen?!" What about the Queen! ”
Li Zhi found that there was no shadow of the queen in the crowd, so he was furious and ordered loudly: "Go and find the queen!" ”
"Your Majesty, the water is too strong, I'm afraid it's more than lucky!" Xue Rengui also rushed over and said objectively.
"You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death! God bless, bless the queen safe and sound, Li Zhi is willing to live for ten years! Li Zhi knelt down reverently and solemnly worshiped God.
Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, looked around, and said loudly: "Empress, can you hear Your Majesty's heart, don't hide it anymore, come out!" ”
Li Zhi stood up in surprise, and after a moment, the crowd dispersed, and the tearful queen appeared in front of everyone. What puzzled everyone was that the queen, the crown prince and Mrs. Wei were all dressed brightly and neatly, and Mrs. Wei was still holding a small package in her hand, which seemed to be prepared?
"Queen, are you alright?" Li Zhi took a few steps forward and hugged the queen in his arms.
"Your Majesty, the concubine thought you didn't love me anymore." The queen burst into tears, but her expression was very sad, without the slightest hint of excitement.
"Lose the knowledge and cherish it, queen, I will treat you well in the future, let's stop arguing, okay?" Li Zhi took Queen Wang's cold hand and said with a sigh, in fact, after experiencing life and death, many contradictions can be seen and no longer attached.
"Okay, the concubine promised Your Majesty that whatever Your Majesty says in the future, the concubine will never retort." Queen Wang smiled miserably and looked at Li Zhi in a daze, but happiness came too late, and she had no time to redeem it when it was too late.
Mrs. Wei Guo trembled forward and saluted, and subconsciously hid the small package back, Li Zhi frowned, he couldn't see this sneaky appearance, and asked coldly: "What is hidden?" ”
"Yes, yes......"
Mrs. Wei Guo, Xue Rengui stepped forward to take down the package, opened it, and saw that there were the queen's jade seal, the gold book, and a few rare treasures.
Everyone was putting a question mark in their hearts, Li Zhi frowned, let go of the queen's hand, and asked, "Why are you so prepared?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, I feel that the situation is not right, so I will simply pack up a few things, these are all at hand, but also in terms of aspects." Mrs. Wei's face was pale and her voice trembled.
And at this moment, Li Zhong cried and pounced, Li Zhi hurriedly hugged him and asked, "Don't be afraid, Zhong'er, everything has passed." ”
"Father, why did you come, Zhong'er has been waiting here for several hours, thinking that he will never see his father again!" Li Zhong cried loudly, and Mrs. Wei Guo hurriedly pulled him away.
Li Zhi's face was gloomy, Mrs. Wei didn't dare to move, Li Zhi took a deep breath and looked at Queen Wang coldly, Queen Wang still looked at herself stupidly, and everything had nothing to do with her.
"Zhong'er, tell my father, why did you come here?" Li Zhi asked.
"Your Majesty, you can't believe the words of a child!" Mrs. Wei Guo's legs were weak and she knelt on the ground, but Queen Wang looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Mother, the matter has come to this, don't let Zhong'er lie again, and I have just said that from now on, no matter what Your Majesty says, I will admit it and never refute it."
